A standout that repeat blooms from spring all the way to frost in the late fall, the ‘Pinball Wizard’ Dianthus features fancy and spicy fragrant pinball-size double flowers of soft pink to white striped in red. The clove scented flowers are perched atop non-flopping sturdy stems that rise above a neat and compact mound of handsome dark silver blue foliage that is a perfect compliment to the flowers. This beauty holds up to both heat and cold thriving in USDA Zones 5 to 9.  An essential cottage, cutting or rock garden addition and perfect in garden beds or patio pots. Remains evergreen in warmer winter regions.

Growing in a dense mound about 12 to 14 inches tall and wide, the Pinball Wizard Dianthus is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or in mass plantings in sunny landscape borders and on slopes. Also very popular for edging garden beds and paths, walkways and patios. Excellent as a solo or mixed with other plants in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens, sunny perennial gardens and pink theme gardens.
